[Listen] Arctic Monkeys - "I.D.S.T." x "The Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap"

Arctic Monkeys are set to release their highly anticipated fourth studio album Suck It and See drop on June 6th in just over a weeks time. With the release of their recent single "Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair" came two B-Sides "I.D.S.T." (you know like kids used to right about their current love at school on a desk aka If Destroyed Still True) & "The Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap". The latter of the tracks is a slower stoner type jam that will mellow you out no matter how many coffees you've had. "I.D.S.T." after a listen would be like changing the coffee you've drank with jet fuel and red bull in a line of shot glasses. It's a rip roaring 2 minutes of heavy distortion and squealing guitars. Both are a good listen in their own rights but not fitting to the feel of the upcoming release. I imagine this is why we get to enjoy them separate from the LP as B-Sides.
